Summary

Trump’s transition team is relying on private email servers, raising security concerns among federal officials who fear potential hacking and misuse of sensitive information.

The White House has instructed agencies to limit electronic sharing and instead offer in-person briefings or reading room access for sensitive materials.

Federal employees are wary of transmitting classified or personnel data to unsecured servers, with some requiring transition officials to verify compliance with security standards.

The reliance on private emails is slowing the transfer of government materials ahead of Trump’s inauguration.

    Trumps little fascist circle is gonna get breached. I promise.

    There’s no fucking way their team is competent enough to manage their own security. It’s likely that a lot of their data is already getting scraped by corporations.

    Nation state actors will have several of their devices compromised before he’s even in office.

    Any APT worth their salt will see them as a valuable target. I can’t wait for this shit to splatter all over them.

    Too bad we probably wont hear about it for many years if whoever gets in is talented.

      You realize he already was, right? A security researcher in the NL breached Trumps’ Twitter. Twice.

      This already happened during his first administration. His family was using private e-mail and all of them were using unsecured devices. The news covered it and conservatives covered their ears.

        You make it sound like they are ignorant when they are instead hiding evidence of corruption from government servers.
